Chapter 21 Breaking through Shezhou
The world that had been pitch black became brighter. Miserable green.
Shi Bao saw that Qin Mu and Jia Hongxian had worn it, but he didn't know what it was for, but now he finally experienced it himself.
Why did Young Master Qin have so many treasures! Isn't it a mortal god in the sky?
Fang La's men were even more superstitious. Because Fang La has always promoted this.
He claimed that he was born from this reincarnation, and although Shi Bao was strong in martial arts, it didn't mean that he could surpass the times. He couldn't even surpass Fang La.
Qin Mu's image in his eyes was even more mysterious. And for the future, he is extremely confident.
With the help of the saints, a great cause can be expected.
What should be the name of the holy woman's man? Shouldn't it be called a "Holy Father"?
Shi Bao suddenly felt that the "Holy Father" in front of him was more like the Holy Father than the "Holy Father" of Fang La.
"General Shi, we are going to pass Shezhou tonight."
Shi Bao completely understood Qin Mu's plan. There is an artifact that can see things at night, so there is no problem with sailing at night. Song Jun didn't have such a treasure, so they could only hide on the shore at night. Tonight is a good opportunity to spend time in Shezhou.
"General Shi, you are at the helm, and now we will sail."
The team sprang into action. Although it was against the current, more than 30 strong men rowed, and the speed of the boat was not slow at all, and they rushed to Shezhou in the night.
Jia Hongxian was full of unhappiness. Not only was she unhappy, she was almost angry.
Why didn't she see her for a while, and the little fox spirit said to this group of soldiers that her cousin was her official. Is there still a royal law for this? I have a matchmaker, and the old cypress tree of Daxiangguo Temple is a matchmaker - although it can't speak, I really spent a lot of money to buy incense for it.
Where's your matchmaker? And I don't have parents, of course I make my own decisions about marriage, you still have a father and a mother, and you don't know life and death in Muzhou City, how can you find a man at this time?
You don't care if your father lives or dies?
What are you talking to me about Empress Ying, two daughters serving a husband, if it weren't for you, wouldn't I just have a cousin alone? Why do you want to serve a husband together?
Forget it, it doesn't count anyway, everything is up to my cousin.
I'll wait until I get out of this place.
Jia Hongxian felt that everything here was against him, and there was no place to make him happy.
Angry, she walked out of the hatch and into the bow of the ship.
I still have to listen to my cousin's words, and I have to go through Shezhou first tonight.
The black Shezhou city wall appeared in front, and there were dense torches at the head of the city, as well as many soldiers.
It doesn't seem like a good idea.
Jia Hongxian tried her best to forget the unhappiness caused by Fang Haoyin, and found a comfortable position to lie down, with a few straw bags piled up in front of her, and a small high platform was built.
She put the *** bracket and looked at the shooting boundary.
The firing range is wide and there is no obstruction. So he calmed down and stared at the soldiers on the city through the shimmer sight.
Shezhou City is close to the Xin'an River, and the river flows through Shezhou City.
The riverbank near Shezhou City was full of large boats. There are red lanterns hanging on it, with different characters written on them, illuminating the military flags dancing in the night wind - all of them are the warships of the Great Song Dynasty.
The river can be clearly seen from the city wall of Shezhou, although it is night, but the city is full of torches, and the river is also faintly visible.
Shooting arrows from the city wall is a bit far, even if it hits Qin Mu's ship, it won't be lethal, but Qin Mu is still very worried. Because Da Song has a bed crossbow.
Along the way, he also had a basic understanding of Da Song's weapons. If you fire a bed crossbow from the city wall, you can pierce the ship.
Jia Hongxian's mission is to prevent the bed crossbow from being fired on the city wall.
Qin Mu asked the boat to move as close to the side away from the city wall as possible, and asked everyone to paddle as lightly as possible and not to stir up too much water noise. Now that there is no wind, the sails have already been lowered, which makes Qin Mu feel a little relieved - the target is a little smaller.
He hoped that the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty would be like the jailers of Kaifeng Mansion that night, not staring at the outside diligently, gambling and gambling, and sleeping. But apparently his hopes were in vain.
As soon as the ship approached Shezhou City, a voice suddenly came from the city wall.
"What ship? Stop it! Stop for Lao Tzu! ”
Then came the sound of gongs.
The entire city of Shezhou seemed to suddenly wake up from its sleep and immediately came to life.
The walls of the city were lit with more than twice as many torches, and there were many more soldiers.
The Song military ships on the shore also moved.
"Full speed!" Qin Mu ordered loudly. At this time, there is only rushing.
Every paddler gritted their teeth, tensed their muscles, and rowed as hard as they could.
The speed of the ship has increased significantly.
Qin Mu felt that his speed had at least doubled. According to his prediction, as long as he could hold on for ten minutes, he could break out of the range of the Great Song Bed Crossbow.
Ten minutes, ten difficult minutes.
The noise on the city wall was higher and higher, and it seemed that all the Song troops in Shezhou City had gone to the city.
The sound of bowstrings sounded, and a rain of arrows flew in the firelight.
"Shield!" Qin Mu let out a loud shout, and casually raised the shield to block Jia Hongxian.
When they came out of Muzhou, they brought all the equipment with them, which came in handy.
"Cousin, don't block the slave shooting realm." Jia Hongxian gently pushed open a gap.
Most of the rain of arrows fell into the river, and only one or two of them hit the boat, and no one was injured, but only stuck on the boat.
Sure enough, the range of the bow and arrow was not enough.
Qin Mu put down the snack slightly.
The guards on the ship saw that the Great Song bow and arrow were not threatening, and they worked even harder. Throw your shields aside and paddle desperately.
With every little more strength, the faster you get out of danger.
Everyone understands the current situation, and they can't rush over, and everyone is dying here.
Everyone had exhausted their strength to feed, and the boat was like a galloping horse, splitting two long ripples in the river.
Shi Bao held the rudder tightly. Sailing at night, even with the help of night vision devices, is extremely dangerous.
He completely ignored the rain of arrows and stared straight ahead.
Qin Mu carefully observed the city, only to see that some Song soldiers began to fiddle with large instruments in the firelight. Is it a bed crossbow?
This is the only threat to them.
The range of the bow and arrow is not enough, the trebuchet has no accuracy, only the range of the bed crossbow is far and accurate, and if the ship is hit, at least a few people will be killed, and if it is too much, the ship will sink.
Their ship was not very large—forty men could not drive a huge troop carrier.
"Red Line, kill them." Qin Mu issued an order.
Originally, he wanted to shoot in person, but Jia Hongxian refused to let him. In terms of the use of ***, Jia Hongxian seems to have talent, and he is even more powerful than Qin Mu.
On the undulating ship, the target in the scope keeps losing and reappearing.
Jia Hongxian didn't panic at all, she calmed her breathing, felt the law of the ship's ups and downs, and fine-tuned the muzzle of the gun.
Well, this is the moment.
When Song Jun, who operated a bed crossbow, had just exposed most of his body from behind the female wall, Jia Hongxian pulled the trigger.
The flames are unusually bright in the night.
A flame erupted, and Song Jun on the wall suddenly had only his body left, lost his head, and fell to the ground.
This terrifying sight immediately frightened the surrounding Song army.
What kind of weapon is this? The vast majority of people do not notice the light of the fire on the river, and even if a few do, they do not think that the light of the fire will bring death.
The Great Song did not have such a weapon.
The bed crossbow suddenly lost its threat. No one dared to approach the corpse.
There was more than this bed crossbow on the city wall, and Qin Mu saw at least three.
Jia Hongxian was not in a hurry, and shot continuously.
Shi Bao and his men were all stunned!
Jia Niangzi's iron rod is amazing.
I saw that the iron rod spewed fire with the sound, and a person fell on the city wall.
They were far away, and they couldn't see the tragic appearance of the dead Song army, otherwise they would not just be surprised, but frightened.
At this distance, a 7.62 mm bullet is enough to tear off a person's limbs and penetrate a person's body.
Every corpse of the Song army was mutilated, which caused fear to spread like the wind on the city walls.
Not to mention that the bed crossbow was not shot once, even the archers did not dare to shoot arrows.
Song Jun all hid under the women's wall, and some of the timid ones simply lay on the ground with five bodies, not daring to move.
There was an eerie silence at the head of the city—there was no one left, only countless torches continued to burn.
How weird and weird this scene is.
"It's not good," just after relieving the threat of the city, Qin Mu suddenly found an iron rope on the water not far in front of him: "I actually played with an iron lock across the river." ”
It was not easy to find an iron cable in the night, not to mention that he was all focused on the city at that time, how could he have thought that Song Jun would have such a means.
"Stop." Qin Mu gave a loud order.
If you hit a rope at such a speed, it won't roll over like a stone on a highway at 120 mph, but the river is not a hard asphalt road, it's not so flat and solid, and the boat is out of control.
Their only means of escape is the boat, and if the ship gets out of control, the fate is unknown.
The ships of the Song army were already moving.
The boat was covered with lanterns, like a moving lighthouse, and the river gradually lit up.
There were Song troops on the ship, but they were far less numerous than those on the city walls. I don't think anyone wants to sleep on the ship, so there aren't many soldiers left.
There were three boats that moved relatively fast, and they had already driven towards Qin Mu's boat.
Qin Mu could see the long clap pole on the boat raised.
This is a sharp weapon in the Great Song Dynasty ship battle. As long as you get it close to it, the boat will definitely not be able to stand it.
Fang Haoyin looked nervously at the enemy ship, as well as the iron cable lying across the water in front of him.
The ship continued to move forward according to its inertia, and its speed became slower and slower, and it looked like it was about to hit the iron cable.
The height of the iron cable is just a little stuck under the side of the boat, and if you are fast, you will not be able to move if you ride on it.
Fang Haoyin was in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the brother-in-law has sharp eyes, otherwise the ship is stuck on the iron cable and can neither advance nor retreat, even if the brother-in-law is a baby, there is no way to face countless officers and soldiers.
Everyone saw the iron rope approaching little by little, and no one dared to speak, and they all stared at Qin Mu.
This is the moment of life and death, and if you can't get by, a boatload of people will all die here.
Holy woman's man, is there any other way?
The ship was slow enough when it approached the ferrata.
Qin Muyi lowered his head and picked up the iron cable, took out the C4 and pasted it on it, and then ordered loudly: "Reverse!" ”
What does reversing mean? Although the word was strange, everyone immediately understood, and they all turned around and the boat quickly retreated.
Forward is countercurrent, backward is downstream. Soon Qin Mu retreated to a safe distance.
At this time, two Song warships had already shuttled to the vicinity of the bombing site.
Qin Mu decisively pressed ***.
With a loud thunderclap, extremely dazzling flashes erupted on the surface of the river, and the iron cable was blown apart.
Not only was the iron cable gone, but even the two Song warships were affected, and one was obviously tilted to one side, and it was about to capsize. The other also lost control and rushed down the river.
Shi Bao and his subordinates were completely unprepared, how could they expect that Qin Mu invited the divine thunder in the sky, and they exploded the iron rope in one fell swoop.
A brief moment of shock was followed by ecstasy.
The way forward is open!
There's a way to live.
What are you waiting for if you don't play with your life at this time?
All of them burst out with the greatest strength, and the ships flew upwards against the current.
All the Song troops were stunned by this thunder, completely incapacitated, and let the ship fly through Shezhou City and disappear into the night.
